<p>So I'm joining a new campaign (all Pathfinder books allowed) and the char creation rules are odd. </p>
<p><b>All characters will get MAXIMUM Hit Points for their first three Character levels.</p>
<p>Attributes:No dice will be rolled.All attributes start at 10.You have 15 additional points to spend to increase attributes.You may trade points at a 1:1 ratio but may not lower a stat below 7, nor increase a stat above 18. </p>
<p>This method for attributes creates fairly low adventurer stats, but above the typical commoner. I did this on purpose. Your characters will grow over time. You may purchase Attribute increases using XP. Note that this rule is not found in Pathfinder books. This is my custom variant. Costs are listed below:</p>
<p>New Attribute value Cost in XP
<br />
8-10 1,000
<br />
11-15 2,500
<br />
16-18 5,000
<br />
18-20 10,000</b></p>
<p>Now this is all well and good, but it does make for fairly low stats and makes MAD classes non-viable (IMHO)</p>

<p>We as PFS judges are not the police, we are not their mom's, what we are however are voulnters that agree to run the PFS campaign according to the rules Paizo and Mike have set out.</p>

<p>If ever you are unsure on how casting defensivly works, just find someone that plays a Magus, they WILL know the rules as they use them every round.</p>
<p>Currently I play a level 7 magus and have devoted a lot to making this check easier.</p>
<p>Sadly if you use your magus ability to get a bonus equal to your int mod and take the same penelty to hit, you will miss, a LOT.</p>
<p>Here is the breakdown for Sebatian, you can check out his sheet <a href="http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=410768" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Here</a></p>
<p>My take was to make it automatic as soon as I could.</p>
<p>The DC to cast are as follows.</p>
<p>Cantrip DC 15
<br />
level 1 DC 17
<br />
level 2 DC 19
<br />
level 3 DC 21</p>
<p>In order to do this and still have all the damage output I did the following.</p>
<p>Caster Level +6 (I splashed Unarmed fighter)
<br />
Combat Casting +4
<br />
Int Mod +3 (this could be higher)
<br />
<b>Gloves of Elvenkind</b> +5 (Buy these, seriously, just do it)</p>
<p>This gives me a +18, +19 when casting Arcane mark and Shocking grasp thanks to the trait "Precocious Spellcaster" (Take this)</p>
<p>Anyway thats how I did it, and this is a PFS character so it was played all the way from level 1.</p>Short anwser is..... You don't

<p>So here is a great story for you all.</p>
<p>My wife and I decided to drive to Western MI to play a game this last Sat (we live on the east side, about a 2 1/2 hour drive)</p>
<p>Anyway, the point being we did not really know anyone at our table.</p>
<p>Going in we really wanted to make a good impression on everyone, you know, make sure to RP well, not overshadow the rest of the group, fight as a team, the norm.</p>
<p>So we start in a level 5-9 game (playing 5-6 as we were all level 6)
<br />
I will not go into what adventure as to not ruin it for people.</p>
<p>Anyway the first combat is Vs 2 Annis Hags. seems like a tough combat for our group, they do a lot of damage, decent AC, loads of attacks, CR 6 each.</p>
<p>So this is where it went downhill......</p>
<p>You remember the "Not overshadow the group" part from above?</p>
<p>Yeah.....</p>
<p>First round of combat the Pali provokes one of them and does some damage (not a lot).</p>
<p>My magus steps in and casts shocking grasp (intense, 6d6)...
<br />
Hit.
<br />
Crit.
<br />
Roll... (dear lord, nearly max)</p>
<p>Me: "I do 80 damage to it.... do you care how much is what type?"</p>
<p>Dm :"Wait..... You do how much?!?!?!"</p>
<p>For what its worth on her Init, my wife dropped the other one in a Create pit.</p>
<p>So thats how it went all night, all i rolled was crits, I could not lose. but really thats not the point.</p>
<p>So anyway, what are some of your "Wait...... What?!?!?" moments from GM's?</p>
<p>I know others have made the whole table go O_o..... in the past.</p>Hey all.
